– HER ISSUE TODAY: What to do when you’ve gone thru all the tests and you’re going to the doctor for a diagnosis, the doctor says that there’s not much to do about it. NONSENSE.
– REPORT that you need a doctor who will “dig” into the underlying issues. Over 100 types of dementia. Alzheimer’s is the most prevalent. YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT TYPE OF DEMEMTIA your loved one has. i.e. SCANS of the brain. You can be on the margin of something that is not diagnosed and then you need a neurologist.
